came across queer old tlshmOnger at
Quincy market, the other day, who had
for sale most curious variety of oils OBJ
tanned from finny inhabitants of the deep,
most of which l had never heard of in my
life before. He kept them on long shelf,
in a row of enormous glass bottles. OF
the contents of many Of them, he said,
apothecaries bought large quantities for
medicinal purposes. In No. l, he ex-
planned, was porpoise oil, derived from the
jawbone of that interesting animal, which
for lubricating watch machinery is I'M
equaled. The big sunfish of the sea sup
plies an oil-exhibited in jar No. 2-that
is highly recommended for rheumatic pa
tients, and in the treatment of this COM
plant is also employed-see jar No. 3
the oil obtained from the fat that lies be-
meath the turtles upper shell. The oils
tried out from the entrails of eels and
pickerel are frequently prescribed, so the
vender of fish declared, for deafness. The
skins of cells, by the way, are q sovereign
cure for cramps if tied around the waist.
More than half of the big bottles were
filled with cod liver oil. OF this the pro-
duction is, of course, far greater than that
of all the rest combined.
The process of refining 1t, I am told, is
quite elaborate. To this-by far the
greatest fish market in the United States
many millions of livers are brought
every season by salty trawlers, who sell
them at the docks to manufacturers
agents. The crude oil is passed through
boiling water, SO that it may be thorough
ly cooked, and then poured into canvas
bags. These bags are squeezed beneath
hydraulic presses, the, lard like stearire
remaining inside, while the oleine oozcs
out ready to put up for the market. This
cod liver OIL of the best quality, can be
obtained from the manufacturer by any
one who cares to bring his own receptacle
at S1.25 per gallon. Apothecaries charge
about this per quart. Among the rarest
of the fish products exhibited by the old
market man was melon oil-so called be-
cause it has the fragrance of the musk
melon. 1t is a secretion in the nose of a
pilot whale, and is the best lubricant
known-short of porpoise offer delicate
machinery. Its congealing point is so
low that it remains liquid with the Their
mometer at zero. Another curious oil,
which is so susceptible to cold that il
placed in temperature where ice melts
it will freeze, is extracted from the fat at
the base of the forelegs of the Indus river
crocodile. 1t is a famous leather dressing.

One of the most wonderful women in
the country is Miss Jennie Smith, in
charge of railway work in the National
Temperance Union. Miss Smith had been
hopeless invalid, having some sort OF
paralysis that kept her year in and year
ont on couch. She PROMISE the Lord
that if he would restore her to health she
would devote her life to converting rail
road men. \ day of prayer WAS appoint
ed, and at the specified hour she had pray
ed for, Jennie Smith arose from her couch
a we'll woman. Since then she has given
all her time to the railway people, and it
is To her influence that so many cGnduc-
tors, portrrs and bra&men wear the little
knot of white ribbon in their coats. Her
influence is great, and when strikes are
imminent the railway kin Is have a fash
ion OF sending for Jennie Smith. The
men listen to her, and IN many known in,
stances have needed her wise counselS
and goue quietly back to work.
